I will be using this blog to schedule group runs, seminars, and workouts for all my athletes and other people interested in doing the ultra. I will also be using this blog to document my training for the 2010 Vermont 100 Mile Ultramarathon. For official articles, please visit my other blog at http://coachjoegold.blogspot.com.

April 1 - 1000 Meter Swim and 5 Mile Run

The bike is slow to come around this week as I am getting my testy steed roadworthy after being on the Computrainer for the winter. This attempt at riding today was met by two flats on the front tire. Closer examination reveals that the rim tape needs replacing. I'm hoping (crossing my fingers) that I will get the bike in today. It should take about 5 minutes to replace the rim tape. In the meantime, I've been concentrating on the run. 70 miles this week is sure looking a more and more a reality.

AM Workout: 1000 Meters Swimming

500 Meters Warmup
4x100 IMs with 30 seconds in between reps
1x100 WD
---------
1000 Meters Total

The IMs were done steadily at 1:35 each, so everything looks pretty good with the swim in face of all the running I'm doing this week.

--------------------------------
PM Workout: 5 Miles

Course: Great Kills Park
Time: 43:24 (8:42 min/mile pace)
Weather: 60F, Light Winds, Sunny

Nice and steady, really comfortable run today, especially after the 20 miler yesterday. This is a great indication that I have set myself perfectly for the tougher, gruelling runs that are ahead. We shall see how this week closes out; I have two 8 milers and a 10 miler to go before all is said and done this week.

Weekly Totals So Far:

3000 Meters Swimming
0 Miles Cycling
44 Miles Running
